What guests think

Reviews of MainStay Suites Carlisle - Harrisburg depict a modern stop with spacious suites and kitchens, comfortable beds, attentive staff, and convenient highway access, while noting recurring drawbacks like a basic breakfast, occasional overbooking or unattended front desk, and noise.

Many guests praised very clean rooms and common areas, though some reported lapses in room preparation and limited housekeeping during stays. Suites are large with full kitchens suited to longer stays, though kitchenware availability varies across rooms. Best suited to road-trippers and extended-stay guests who prioritize space and value.

I would recommend this property to anyone. The room was large, had a full fridge, dishwasher, fully stocked kitchen. The mattress was just right for us. Room was super clean and the bathroom very nice. The parking was great. I appreciate the extra large parking spots. We were just passing through for one night but this is a gem.

Staff was very friendly, access was easy right off the highway, parking was plentiful and it was nice having many entry and exit doors on the first floor especially when you have a small dog. The room was also nice and quiet too!

Overall, a nice hotel. Our room was very clean and the beds comfortable. The room was large with plenty of room for our luggage (2 adults/ 2 kids). Check in was quick and easy with friendly staff. The rooms are not soundproof, so we could hear music and very heavy footsteps from the room above us. Very simple breakfast items, continental not a buffet (no eggs/ meats). Musty smell in the hallways and only 1 elevator. Overall, a good hotel that we'd stay in again in traveling through the area.

Parking was very easy although it was a bit dark. Checking in was a breeze and staff was extremely polite and helpful. I could not rate the food I did not have breakfast, but it was offered the only disadvantage that I found was I had a handicap room and the lights would go on and off without anybody walking around or doing anything I rolled over in bed one time the lights came on, but I can see where that would be extremely helpful. It just was not for me and I did not know if there was a switch that I could’ve adjusted it.

Great size of the room - A pet-friendly/non-smoking double queen. Good price. The location of the room we stayed in is very close to where folks gather outside to smoke/lounge. There is a small seating area very close to the window of this room. It makes me feel uncomfortable. The deal breaker however is the cleanliness (or lack thereof). Everyone has different standards for clean, but I feel like at a hotel it is fair to have a minimum standard of cleanliness. This room far from meets that, and is very unfortunately the least clean hotel I've stayed in to date. Dirty floors, a partially scrubbed toilet bowl, plops of animal fur, dead bugs, one crusty appearing sock, and a used mouth guard to boot. This will be my first and last visit to this hotel.

Hotel looks like new. Spacious room. Have microwave, refrigerator, very convenient. Lot of parking. I didn’t like that that rooms are cleaned only once a week. I asked for towels and bed sheets and i changed myself. Breakfast didn’t have egg or sausages but overall experience was good . Staff in the front desk very pleasant and helpful.

We loved this property. We had a kitchenette, fridge, microwave, everything we needed. Our only complaint was the noise level at night in our room. The fridge ran almost constantly and the compressor was extremely loud. Our Ac unit was very loud also, to the point where we could not sleep.

I’ve stayed here several times, because is one of few hotel brands that have full size fridge/freezer. I don’t have any problems with the hotels, but would suggest one requests a room on the top floor if you are sensitive to noises or stomping on the ceiling. Am noticing the hotels are moving away from carpeted floors. I totally get the practicality of this for cleaning, but can be horrible when there are people above you that are unaware of how hard they walk. Like a stampede going on upstairs. Will stay again, but only if can get a top floor room…happening too often lately.

I had a very nice stay however I witnessed a family traveling with small children being turned away because their room that was reserved months in advance be turn away. It was very sad. I would suggest calling the day before to insure they still have rooms available even if your room is reserved in advance.

Reserved a room online. When I went to check in there was no one at the front desk. There was a sign say they would be back in 10 minutes. I waited 45 minutes and no one showed. Now they won’t respond to emails or calls. Unable to get a refund. Very disappointed and do not recommend this hotel. Awful experience.

Despite having a reservation, the hotel did not have a room for me when I arrived from an 8 hour drive. Front desk stated that there was an email sent about the cancelation of my reservation. I never received any email regarding a cancelation. The only assistance the front desk provided, was suggesting that I check at the hotels around for a room. Very agitated and upset about this.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was great. Very friendly and welcoming… and very patient with a customer who was irate because his dog friendly room was not yet ready when he arrived. They all did a great job at staying calm and apologetic and tried to reassure him that they were working on finishing the room and it would be ready shortly.

We had a prepaid reservation with the hotel and arrived at 10pm to try to get the children in bed. Upon check-in I was told that they cancelled our reservation because they overbooked the hotel that night. They handed me a curt letter from the manager saying that I would be refunded. We were not notified of the cancellation until we were in the lobby. It seems as those from the escort service were readily given rooms, and we suspect that we were bumped due to higher rate payout than what we had paid.

First time staying here and I'll definitely be back, very clean rooms and area. Breakfast was by far excellent. Location is easy off, easy on the hwy. One bug was the noise from other rooms. I would recommend the front desk place a sign staying to lower all noise by 10p.m. as we were traveling and losing sleep is not fun.

The overall stay at the hotel was great! The rooms are huge and very comfortable. The hotel was close to the highway, shopping center and restaurants. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the room and how comfortable the beds were. Most likely will choose this hotel again when returning back to PA.
